In response to a Q from @maxrn.bsky.social, Lander said: "This is a critical time to have a mayor who will stand up to ICE and stand up to Donald Trump... I am very grateful to the other mayoral candidates who came out here to call for my release and I really hope New Yorkers will elect one of us."

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

More American lives are going to be lost in the sands on the other side of the world. And remember: toppling Saddam let the even more extreme Isis form a few years later. This war against Iran is a bad idea.

The Democratic Party needs to get smaller in order to grow. Right now, it is bloated with low-quality, spineless leaders. There is no point in electing 60 Democrats to the Senate if 20 of them are voting for Republican priorities anyway. 🧵

It’s a slow pitch at the letters: “Brad Lander is our neighbor. He was looking out for his neighbors. And he was arrested for that. When I rushed to help I was heartened to find most of my opponents there. Men and women who care for the City of New York. But Andrew Cuomo? Where was he?”

This is bravery and decency. This is what people upset about this administration want. If you really believe this stuff is wrong, and you have a public profile and principles and want to say you're a leader, then get out there and do the damn thing.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you. Who’s actually in charge?
